Would college sports really be enjoyable knowing the kids are making millions of dollars, and pulling up to the games in Rolls Royces?
Does the kids driving up in Honda Civics make it more enjoyable? Would you not be entertained by a kid who's parents make millions and they bought him a Rolls Royce?

The G-League has definitely opened options, yes. I look forward to more players taking advantage of this in the coming years, to allow kids to develop in a system that pays them what their worth. We haven't seen a lot of it yet, because it is unproven, but hopefully Kuminga will be a trailblazer.
Also, you keep talking about endorsements. Do you have any evidence that guys who don't play college ball struggle to get endorsements? I sure don't remember Kobe Bryant or LeBron James struggling to get endorsements early in their career. Maybe an older guy can speak for Moses Malone, but he had the misfortune of having to go play in the ABA.

The need for college exposure to build a brand is quickly dwindling. B-ball fans know who these kids are. More and more talented kids will forgo college. Now, that could change if the NCAA actually lets these kids make some real money.
They will have to sacrifice endorsements though given the average fan won’t know them

How do so many people have such a strong opinion on this that has never played sports in college? It's not a cakewalk. My days were tied up from 5:30 in the morning to 9 at night during fall and spring semesters. I'd have a problem too if my name was being plastered everywhere promoting games and whatever else.

The tricky part is what stops a Coach from telling a booster to give a Local Car Dealership $500,000 to give to a kid for shooting 1 commercial for said dealership if he commits to your school?
You think many places are going to be throwing around $500,000 left and right to all the top recruits?

So if said option exists and they choose not to take it or are not skilled enough to take it then they are being paid what they are worth/what they chose

However, these scholarship students don't have some arbitrary cap on making money outside of school. They can use their skills to make money by being a tutor, interning in the summer, etc.
Ding ding ding. Sally on a full ride academic scholarship can offer tutoring lessons, etc. Jimmy on a full music scholarship can teach private lessons while advertising he's in the Symphonic Band at State U.
A tennis player cannot teach lessons and make money from it simply because the NCAA says they can't.

Didn't you read where I said that the G-League is unproven as a developmental league, and rational actors typically won't risk their careers in a new operation? Kuminga took a leap, hopefully his success will lead to others doing the same.

so you agree that NCAA athletics is an investment

So getting paid $500k to play in an NBA sanctioned developmental league may result in less net benefit than the total package of an "uncompensated" NCAA athlete.
I think you have successfully made my point.
Thanks!
We are done here guys close up shop.

Thats pretty sad of you to think that the only skill athletes have to offer is to teach lessons.
Also its hilarious if you dont think programs have contacts lined up to work at offices, car dealerships etc that these kids would never have the connections to do otherwise

We can all bitch day and night about how unfair it is, and what a crock the NCAA is, but you take away the amateurism in college sports, and I think you'd find that it loses its soul, and the entire reason why we love college sports to begin with.
Yes. It's called professional sports. There's an avenue for that.
It's also a reason you don't see this bullshite in college baseball. Think about why that's different..

Because they can go straight from HS and it doesn't generate the kind of revenue that basketball and football produce?
